Hey guys, remember I was looking for a torch? Well I just got one today!! 125 and 80(I think) cu ft tanks with one heavy duty victor reg and a differant kind on the oxy. It has a Victor J100 handle and a CA1260 cutting attach and 2 cutting tips and 2 welding tips. (Not sure on the size) It has about 50ft of hose and a heating tip. (A really serious soldering torch) It also came with a cart. Tomarrow I will take some pics and post them.

Hmmm. I just got back from looking it over. The Oxy reg has a leak. There is a big bolt/knob on the end of it and I used some soapy water to test it and it blows bubbles. I tryed to tighten it, and I did but it still leaks. Any ideas?

Take it to your local welding supply and have it rebuilt.  Don't mess around with any leaky oxy-fuel regulators.
It won't cost much to have this done.

About how much would it cost?

Take it apart yourself and see where the bladder is leaking. It will cost about 20 bucks for a new bladder if that's what it is.

Its the seal on the back. I called my friend last night and he said to take it apart. There was dirt or crud in there on the seal. I'll check it in a minute to see if it still leaks.

OK it still has a slow leak. I can't hear it, but when I pour some soapy water on it, I get a bubble that slowly fills up, and them slides down and pops. I'll have to find out where I can get a seal.
